And no drive is complete without looking for a haystack - not quite so pleasing when wrapped in plastic.
The farmland around here is so lush.

Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
I haven't seen them wrapped in plastic before.

Julie, we on a road out from Bega.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are ugly - wrapped in plastic. But you photo did the best one could do with these, regarding the colours and the composition.:-)
ReplyDeleteah, I agree - haystacks look better out of the plastic. Love the contrast though, of the plastic-wrapped hay with the beautiful scenery in the background.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen them wrapped in plastic before either.

Hay is often wrapped in plastic these days. I guess it saves having to store it in a shed. This was the first time I've had a chance to take a photo of them with a decent view.
